The description is still wrong. If it has two of each sprue, then it cannot come with 16 braces, as there are only 6 on the sprue.

Either way, it's not hard to figure out. A lot of these kits just have two of the available sprues (like the other pipes), and this appears to be the same.

Good spot , I think it still gave you more pipe than the Promethium Pipe kit though

There are not enough braces in the plasma pipe set, but aside from that it is IMHO so much better than the promethium pipe set.

Kinda kicking myself for not getting a second regulator set though.

Dang it, wish I had thought of that before putting everything together.

Conduits No3. Feet are separate, leave them off if you want to use conduits vertically or suspended in mid air. Save the spare feet though

Thought this video posted by Warhammer TV was appropriate here...

That is an awesome piece Duncan did, the thought of transporting it and painting it like that hurts my brain though. I would have left that in at least 3 sub assemblies. Looks like it would work great in a game of Necromunda.

All about making interesting shapes

The plasma conduit kit does give you more pipes, plus they're a different kind of plastic. The promethium pipes come from the Wall of Martyrs bunkers era, where things came in that weird-colour plastic not on the sprue. The pipes are on sprues, but they're the same odd plastic. They don't seem locally produced, which is odd for GW.

Anyway, I simply adore the fact that the new pipes can act as columns/pillars. This bit is easily one of the three most useful parts in the Sector Mechanicus range, so having more things like it (better than it, actually) is fantastic.

NZ$682 ($3 cheaper than buying them all seperate) (£350, UK will probably be cheaper though as similar bundles are £220 in UK)

For anyone wanting to know the contents of the Promethean Refinery

I bought two

The platforms on the plasma regulators are set at roughly 3 inches, or the same height as the older imperial sector stuff
Its a bit odd, i was expecting it to be set at 2.5 inches like some of the sector mechanicus pieces

Just in case anyone was wondering, the old Necromunda bulkhead sections are the right height to use with the plasma regulator platforms. You need to remove the top clip part and file it flat. Also, pre-plan where you want to put the bulkhead or you may find yourself unable to attach clips, shields, or grubbins because you've covered up holes you wind up needing to use.

They are about a 1/4" taller than the platforms so they could work as walls attached to the outside of the platform but won't fit underneath.

Hope they are not limited release.

Not mine, but I am so going to do this as well now:

I have enough minis to populate a small town, courtesy of the first and second Astropolis kickstarters.'





Maybe if I'm crazy enough I'll try and build a small sump town or the like out of nothing but Munitorum containers.

Looks great. Where did you find that please? I'd like to go have a look at the source.

A Google Image search says it's from here - https://twitter.com/timfisher22

The floor height on the regulator platform matches up with Mantic's Battlezones

Question - are the individual "squares" of the SectorMech terrain the same size as the tiles on the ZM board?
